New Release of IBM ILOG Transportation Analyst Now Available

This is a major release for this product. It has a new interface, improved run time performance, additional constraints and settings, and enhanced optimization capabilities. The product embeds IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimizer. Specifically, the optimization engine takes advantage of our powerful constraint programming engine which is well suited to these types of problems. All of this allows you to more easily solve larger problems and address other routing problems.

IBM ILOG Transportation Analyst is a strategic tool that allows you to determine the best routes, size your fleet, determine best backhauls, determine how to best use hubs, and make mode selection choices between private fleet, commercial carriers, multit-stop routes, and LTL.

This product is a nice complement to IBM ILOG LogicNet Plus XE. When designing a network, it is often important to understand the implications to routes, fleet sizes, hubs, and modes. The product also complements Sterling TMS by providing a strategic complement for doing what-if analysis.
